Hello, #prodchat friends! How is everyone this evening?
-
@rsidneysmith Thanks! It’s been a crazy few weeks, so I’m v. interested in the topic AND the fact that you put life before work. #prodchat
-
@KLRoberson Hey, Kristen! Good to have you on the chat! #prodchat

@jodiacampbell Yes, I very much believe in the order of “life-work…” #prodchat

A1 Life work balance for me means to be able to enjoy my family while I am able to feel satisfied with the work I do #prodchat

@rsidneysmith thanks Ray! #prodchat

A1: I actually don’t believe in work/life balance. I call it work/life negotiation. I wrote about it here, http://www.profkrg.com/the-work-life-balance-myth …ifeprodchatdchat

@MCTheWriter Hey, Myrlande! Welcome back to the chat! Enjoy! #prodchat

@MCTheWriter Hey, Myrlande! Welcome back to the chat! Enjoy! #prodchat

RT @jjmccullen: A1: I definitely dont have a clear balance, but I am not sure I am looking for balance #prodchat

@rsidneysmith It’s fabulous to be here, as always. #prodchat

I am good based on RT @rsidneysmith: A1: I define life-work balance as feeling fulfilled and motivated to get out bed every day #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I’m going to start charging you by the hour. ;) #prodchat
-
A2: I think the things that help balance me is having a #productivity system, and my Weekly Review, planning forward…. #prodchat
-
@kelseymcf Hi, Kelsey. Welcome! I’m typically late for #prodchat. That probably says something…
-
@rsidneysmith Details. Details. ;) #prodchat
-
@kelseymcf Hey, Kelsey! Not a worry…jump in and enjoy the conversation! :-) #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell LOL. I’m at the office right now (7 p.m.) because I was making mega dissertation progress and didn’t want to leave. #prodchat
-
@kelseymcf Silly work getting in the way of #prodchat fun!
-
@MCTheWriter I don’t feel like I have a very good balance because I always find myself talking about work and emailing after hours #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I do enjoy my work. But I think it was more of a “productive” way to avoid things I was trying to avoid, AKA my life #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell Oh, it’s so easy for me to stop when they aren’t going well. Perhaps too easy. :/ #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell I decided long ago, that life was worth living if I went to bed exhausted and I awoke refreshed! #prodchat

@kelseymcf you and I both! I have my emails attached to my phone; so I’m always sending or receiving email whenever or wherever. #prodchat

-
@jodiacampbell We are… I’m just sure I’ll have new followers tomorrow like workaholics anonymous. ;) #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter I’m the worst at that! I hate waiting on email replies so I feel like I have to respond right when they come in #prodchat
-
Like a positive attribute. Yes. RT @rsidneysmith: A3b: I think society has made workaholicism look like a talent not a disorder. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Took some adjusting for my productivity. But now I’m back in the saddle again. (another old school saying) #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter I get texts about kids’ sports late at night. So rude. We’d better be good friends if you text me after 9 p.m. #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter That’s so true! I never thought about that, Myrlande. I still adhere to those rubriks. #prodchat
-

@rsidneysmith @MCTheWriter I wondered if this still existed. I was taught never to call anyone after 9 p.m. #prodchat

@rsidneysmith @kelseymcf I’m not sure if it’s changing. I want women to be able to do whatever THEY WANT. The last part is key. #prodchat
-
@kelseymcf absolutely. #prodchat
-
@profkrg @rsidneysmith @MCTheWriter I’m a night owl, so much more concerned w/ early morning calls, but late calls still annoying. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Must… get… book… #prodchat
-
@kelseymcf me too! You’re a workaholic! I guess you and I both. The minute I receive them, I reply right back. #prodchat
-
ditto! RT @profkrg: RT @jodiacampbell: @MCTheWriter That drives me nuts! Dont call before 9 am and after 9 pm for me. #prodchat
-
I like that. RE @rsidneysmith: Understood. It’s like my Revised Golden Rule: do unto others as they ask to be done unto them. #prodchat
-
and this is a problem RT @rsidneysmith: A3b: I think society has made workaholicism look like a talent not a disorder. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith That just sounds exhausting. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith slowly. As younger generations are raised more equally, it will be easier to accept not being Super Woman #prodchat
-
G’night Jim. RT @jjmccullen: Sorry guys I have to run, time to wrap it up and head home for the night #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter I’m thinking that’s a blog post! #prodchat
-
@jjmccullen Goodnight, Jim! Great to have you (briefly) on the chat! #prodchat
-

@kelseymcf The email thing doesn’t bother me because it doesn’t wake me up. :) #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell Jodi, you’d be surprised how the “standard” makes your days more fulfilling yet not necessary physically tiring. :) #prodchat

@kelseymcf Emails aren’t so bad, but, as a professor, I get annoyed when I see students email me at 2:00 a.m. It’s unneccessary. #prodchat
-
@kelseymcf Don’t worry, Kelsey. Like some of us, age will catch up with you and you’ll turn the phone off at night too! ;-) #prodchat
-
-
@jodiacampbell I won’t email professors too late because my mom was a teacher & parents would email at all hours. Lesson learned! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I have. I’ll review it soon. I had mixed feelings. #prodchat
-
-
@kelseymcf Good for you! It just looks bad. I confess I write emails late, but I use Boomerang to schedule them to send later. #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter It’s only 7:30 here. Plus I’m not holding off until 8 so I can pick up the kiddo from youth group on the way home. #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell @kelseymcf wow! I never thought of that. So it allow you to send them like the next day?! And you can program it? #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell Luv Boomerang! It’s the greatest plugin for Gmail (besides MailFred) that I use! :-) #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter Plus now my husband has to cook dinner. ;) #prodchat
-
-
@degconsulting Hey, Dan! Great to see you on the chat! It’s never too late…always something good going on! Jump right in! #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter basically! You can pick when to send it and re-send if you don’t get a reply. It’s pretty great #prodchat

-
@jodiacampbell If you feel like the work is nonstop, you do need a change. Semester almost over? #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter @kelseymcf Yes and it’s genius! Next day, next week, next month. It’s just a Gmail plugin and is very easy to use. #prodchat
-
@jodiacampbell Try to carve Good Family Time. Work the rest. That way you will feel good about it #prodchat
-
@degconsulting You can scroll back and see the prior questions…Q5 is coming out in three minutes as well. :-) #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I haven’t heard of MailFred. What’s the deal? #prodchat
-
RT @degconsulting: A1: Work/life balance = boundaries in which we establish for ourselves. Understanding how to pause & reflect! #prodchat
-
@degconsulting That’s great…it’s like the “pause and plan” technique for stopping flight-or-fight response. :-) #neuroscience #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith From this I gather. Thanks #prodchat
-
@tburgess57 Hi, Todd. Welcome! We’re talking about work/life balance. #prodchat
